Triumph T100 Pre-Unit 1955

Bill’s bike. An entry in our 2020 Online Old Motorcycle Gathering.

From Bill.

The Bike was originally shipped to Sri Lanka supposedly as a demo bike and was then eventually acquired by a Massey Ferguson Rep based in Singapore. It then followed him around the globe before ending up back in the UK some 5 years ago when it had a full engine overhaul.

Unfortunately the overhaul wasn’t the best to say the least but I know have it running as it should do and it does great service on Berkshire VMCC runs.

Triumph TR5t Trophy Trail 1972

Jim’s bike. An entry in our 2020 Online Old Motorcycle Show Gathering.

From Jim.

1972 TR5t 500cc. This bike  came back from America in 2000, was dated by the club in 2001 as a 1972. The engine is 1 month newer for some reason. The bike which looked ok when bought was unrideable with many issues, but after much work now runs really lovely as long as you are not in a hurry, very light and handles really well.

Triumph Daytona T100R – 1971

Mike’s Bike. An entry in our 2020 Online Old Motorcycle Gathering.

From Mike.

I have owned the bike since 2004 which was partially restored by the previous owner after being re-imported from the U.S. around 2000.

I have taken the bike on 2 tours of France with the club covering approximately 1000 miles on each tour. Over the years I have corrected a number of issues with the bike and it is now running exceptionally well apart from being stabled due to the lockdown. It is a great bike to ride and is light and very fast with exceptional acceleration up to 60 mph for 500cc.

Triumph Bonneville – 1968

Entry to our 2020 Online Old Motorcycle Gathering

From Andy

My Triumph Tiger 650 was originally exported from Meriden to Iceland on 28th May 1968.

There were a huge number of American troops at the Air Base in Reykjavík at that time. They bought bikes from the local distributor at a better price than in the US, and shipped them back home, my bike found its way to the US.

It stayed there, being repatriated in August 2000.

I have enjoyed my Triumph since that time.

Standard American spec. I have fitted Boyer Bransden elect ign, and Podtronics regulator.

Triumph Bonneville 1969

Nick’s bike

I bought this bike in 2007. It had some work on it and looked in reasonable condition and ran, but it had the wrong shaped tank on it and had been poorly painted so the paint was starting to blister. I then started to discover a lot of problems and some time after I got it the engine seized. I bought a second hand tank and had it painted, together with the mudguards in the correct 1969 colours (olympic flame and silver). I rebuilt the engine myself(replacing the clutch and alternator, bearings, seals etc), using a combination of the official workshop manual and Hughie Hancox’s DVDs as a guide.

Classic & Custom Show – 2019

Our 33rd Custom and Classic Motorcycle Show was held at the Burghfield Community Sports Association in July 2019. The sun shone, we had lots of bikes, a bar with beer, good food on offer and people had a good time.

We had a many interesting bikes that attracted people gathering around to talk about them.

The highlight of the day was when the judges announced the results, prizes were awarded and the winning bikes went on display.
